These shaving soaps were formulated to feel good on your skin.

Some shaving soaps contain lanolin. I was looking for a tallow based sop and found this. The company is called the Shave Cellar. A puck cost $12.00.
I've never heard of these folks, but tallow is almost always a good sign. The lack of olive oil is also a good sign.
The website The Shave Cellar - Home The Shave Cellar. Handmade shaving products. Handmade soap www.theshavecellar.com The also are going to to carry aftershaves, soon too.
I am not sure. I found them in a web search titled tallow shave soap, it was on the fifth page of the goggle search.
you found them searching for tallow soap? Are you sure let me quote the web site Cannabis Flower - This is a fantasy scent. I love, love, love it! Green fern and cannabis notes bloom to reveal a rich floral medley of violet and gardenia. Surrounding the florals is a warm blend of cashmere wood with sensual undertones of musk and golden amber. Could you have been really looking for a Cannabis scented shave cream.
I had a look at the site and they don't seem to be doing themselves any favors with those scent choices. Not a single one sounds like something I would want to try. Even the old stand by, bay rum. They describe theirs as smelling like old spice? Doesn't sound like bay rum to me.
They might be describing it in terms the Average Joe would understand. To the general public, bay rum and old spice do smell similar - warm, spicy scents. And hey wow, the Cannibis Flower scent sounds totally cosmic. Who knows, their soaps might be pretty good. If not, then they can always be used as bath soaps. We are used to seeing vendors that cater to the wetshaving forum crowd, but there are many others who don't even know we exist. There are many dozens, perhaps hundreds, of artisan soapmakers hawking their wares online. They will usually have a shaving soap or two on the side, or even as their primary product.
Agree regarding the scents. The only scent that has the slightest appeal to me is the citrus and basil although it sounds more like a salad dressing than a shave soap. To me, Old Spice is not as sweet smelling as Bay Rum.
I like the sounds of the bamboo scents but at $12 a pop I think I'll stick to places like TSDStore and what not, I know they smell and perform well. Plus I think the whole cannibus flower thing kind of turns me off, makes me think of dirty hippies making soap in a smelly basement.
